Toronto Maple Leafs centre Tyler Bozak skated in full equipment on Tuesday morning at the team’s west-end practice facility, working alone with a member of the coaching staff as he continues his long-term recovery from a hamstring injury.

The 27-year-old was put through agility and puck-handling drills more than a half-hour before the rest of the team was scheduled to practise at MasterCard Centre. The team is scheduled to depart for Minnesota later in the day, ahead of Wednesday’s game against the Wild.

Bozak has been sidelined since Oct. 25, when he was injured in a loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Leafs have since placed him on the long-term injured list, meaning he is still almost two weeks from being eligible to return.

Anthony Belza, the team’s strength and conditioning coach, had Bozak on the ice around 10:35 a.m., and worked with him for about 25 minutes, when the team’s starting goalies appeared for practice.

Bozak, who, among other things, suggested the team’s victory song — We Can’t Stop, by Miley Cyrus — is also Toronto’s first-line centre. The trouble with his absence has been exacerbated by the recent long-term injury suffered by Dave Bolland, who was hobbling around on crutches on Monday.

It is not known if Bozak will address reporters after the team’s workout.
